Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 172

Gao Cheng went to Hengnong this time, not only bringing 3000 horsemen and 1000 personal guards with him.

Hou Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou, received an order from the general and led 5000 troops to set off westward early.

In addition, places such as Sizhou, Beiyuzhou, Xiyanzhou, Liangzhou, and Yingzhou recruited [-] soldiers from prefectures and counties to assemble in Hengnong.

Of course, there are more than [-] soldiers in Henan Province. In history, Yuan Xiu once gathered [-] soldiers in Henan Province to fight against Gao Huan.

However, Gao Cheng had to leave enough troops on the southern front to guard against the Liang people.

And this is also the reason why Gao's father and son are deeply feared by Nanliang.

The Gao family, which occupies the rich and prosperous Kanto, has too strong a military strength.

Don't improve Huan's main force of 20 Bingzhou Hu.

Gao Cheng was able to gather an army of 7 troops to garrison Hengnong while dealing with the Liang people's invasion.

However, these two armies are still based on the fact that Shanxi and Henan have not been fully mobilized, and Hebei has not been involved.

In addition to Gao Cheng's restoration of local order, Gao's current military strength is more important because of the two additions of households.

The first increase in households was to force 60 million monks and nuns to return to secular life, increasing taxpayer households by more than one million households.

The five households provide a soldier's salary, and just returning lay monks and nuns is enough to support Gao Huan's 20 Bingzhou Hu and Gao Cheng's Gyeonggi soldiers of 4000, this huge Chinese soldier system.

Three households supported one foreign soldier, and a total of 30 foreign soldiers required support from 90 households.

The second increase in household registration was conducted by Gao Cheng, who conducted inspections of hidden households in various places, including Henan and Shanxi. In Hebei alone, more than [-] hidden households were harvested.

Just one extermination of Buddha and one population check is enough to support the standing army system of more than 78 members of the lower family father and son.

That's why today's Eastern Wei Dynasty is richer and richer than the original time and space.

It is also the source of Gao Cheng's real fear. Using the new household registration to provide the 78 standing army's military pay and improve the combat effectiveness of the troops, but all of that has not caused a burden to the country.

Then it's gone. Gao Cheng rushed to help Nanliang at all costs, hoping that we could hold back the pace of Eastern Wei's unification of the north.

When Di Huan's small army arrived in Pujin, Di Cheng's troops garrisoned Hengnong, and Hou Jing's troops retreated to Xialuo.

Liang Ren also fell silent immediately.

Xia Houkui led the Northern Expedition, vowing to retake Baigoudui.

Chen Yuankang led troops to attack southern Yanzhou, intending to recover Dahuang County.

But we, who are short of cavalry, actually support Nanliang less in terms of money and food.

Among the two harassing small armies, Xia Houkui was attacked by Diaocao and Yuan Zigong who rescued Baigoudui and Yuzhou governor Yaoxiong.

As for Chen Yuankang who surrounded Dahuang County, although his troops were elite, Liu Feng who was stationed in Dahuang County was also poor.

Leaving aside the state and county soldiers, Liu Feng's [-] trilogy were not the group of people who held on to Lingzhou during the siege by Li Hu, Li Bi, and Zhao Gui.

Chen Yuankang was able to seize Dahuang County after a long time, and he also learned that Xiahou Kui's army had no choice but to withdraw from the siege.

In the north, Rouran, who did not provide food support, promised to harass the border before the Eastern Wei Dynasty sent troops.

But in that Western Expedition, the reason why the Gao family and his sons mobilized Hebei was due to the softness of their defenses.

Seeing that the Eastern Wei Dynasty had long been waiting in front of the northern border, Rouran just made a big fuss and did not make a small move to the south.

The momentum is still as high as Gao Cheng.

Ah Nan is reliable, perhaps from the fact that I agree to borrow food and send the Eastern Wei mission to return to the south.

Greedy and cunning, I can't agree with the Eastern Wei Dynasty and form an alliance with Nanliang, and I can't send troops to harass the Eastern Wei Dynasty and contain our troops, but I will definitely go south and fight the Western Wei Dynasty for the sake of Nanliang.

The reason why Wu Qiong didn't send troops and supplies, and Rouran's work was due to effort, two completely different attitudes.

It has nothing to do with our situation. Xiao Liang, who is in Huainan, is the one who may be let go when the Western Wei Dynasty unified China.

Seeing the decline of the Western Wei Dynasty, the sense of crisis is undoubtedly full.

But Rouran, who is in the small desert, still has no possibility of urgent peace with the Central Plains Dynasty.

That was also the reason why Ah Nan let go of the Eastern Wei mission and ordered someone to escort it out of the country.

Ah this has always been an ally of heaven.

Of course, Gao Cheng and Rouran's military actions are temporarily related to Di Huan, Gao Cheng and his son.

In Hengnong, Dicheng gathered 8000 Gyeonggi soldiers, 4000 personal guards, [-] Kezhu Hunyuan tribes, [-] Houyuan tribes and other [-] soldiers, and [-] soldiers from the prefectures and counties in Henan. There are [-] soldiers in the prefectures and counties of Shanzhou, a total of [-] people.

The accompanying generals did not include Murong Shaozong, Duan Shao, Hu Luguang, Gao Jishi, Hou Yuan, Wang Sizheng, Ke Zhu Hunyuan, Dugu Yongye and others.

Gao Cheng appointed Murong Shaozong as the small governor of the Chinese army, handed over [-] state and county soldiers to me to command, and appointed Wang Sizheng as his deputy.

Back then, it wasn't a combination of me leading two infantry, one in front and one in pair, to regain Nanyanzhou.

That's where Low Cheng is stupider than Low Huan. I'm very impressed with its own strengths and weaknesses.

I have problems with using my brain, whether it is making decisions on the fly or winning in the temple, those are my weaknesses.

But if I really want to be meticulous and micro-manipulating, it is not my director. Gao Cheng is more used to passing military orders to generals, and we will complete combat tasks.

Before Dicheng was stationed in Hengnong, he never retreated westward, but just practiced his soldiers and scouted news at the same time.

However, Gao Huan led a small army of 70 troops and retreated from Pujin to the west across the river. They surrendered one after another along the way, except that Gao Huan, the governor of Gao Huan who had once attacked Sima Ziru, held the city.

Di Huan ordered people to shout at Gao Huan, and asked:
"I am alone in fighting crimes, obeying the destiny, since retreating to the west, I have surrendered everything I have done, why should he go against the destiny and stop the car with his arms?"

Before Di Huan heard about Chen Qingzhi's deeds, he felt that the flag of slandering the people and punishing crimes would stand up, so he also used it.

Wang Wei said passionately at the top of the city:

"You have regarded Gao Huan as a grave, and you want to live and die with the city. If he waits for his life, he can come and attack."

Sensing Wang Wei's determination, Di Huan was unsure whether to attack Gao Huan for a while.

Peng Le and other people persuaded Gao Huan to waste time on Gao Huan, and sent the next army to surround him.

Just when Gao Huan was wavering, Wu Qiongchun, an important staff member, withdrew and said:
"Xiang Wang entered the pass, recruiting surrenders and accepting rebels along the way, but now he encounters obstacles, but he has to go around the city, I am afraid that the people in the pass will pay attention to Xiao Wang.

"Wu Qiong is located at an important point, Wang Wei is a stubborn old thief, breaking the city and capturing him, he can certainly deter Guanzhong Xiaoda.

"Besides, if you send troops in the spring plowing, your army can push back steadily. Why do you need to wait for a while, and things will change if you slow down. Please Xiao Wang carefully observe."

Di Huan stroked his beard and thought about it, and thought about it sloppily. I think Yu Wentai's words are very unreasonable.

I led a small army of 70 to retreat to the west, and the journey went smoothly, but when I met Gao Huancheng who surrendered, I had to take a detour. twists and turns.

If Wu Qiong is defeated in one fell swoop and Wang Zhen is captured, the rest of the people will also be able to follow my example and resist stubbornly.

And after listening to Ah Hui's words, he chose to send troops in the spring plowing, and it should be Wu Qiongchun who waited for the decisive battle.

If it is too late, it will change, and if it is too slow, it will also change by itself.

You, He Baqing, are slow.

Sima Ziru, another important counselor, expressed his support for Wu Qiongchun in due course.

Before some consideration, Gao Huan decided to break through Wu Qiong, show off his military power, let Guan Zhong stand firm, and take a good look at his own strength.

Gao Huan's Western Expedition also has the first major change from the Battle of Shayuan in history.

In the Battle of Shayuan, Di Huan left an army to surround Wu Qiong, and he hurriedly led the army to retreat westward.

And that time, under Yu Wentai's persuasion, Di Huan decided to capture Gao Huan and use him as a bridgehead for retreating westward.

Of course, there is not a key reason. After arguing with Gao Cheng in Hengnong, Wu Qiongchun's tribe has not yet gathered in Baxia, and it is not that Chen Qingzhi was surrounded by tens of thousands of people in history.

When Yu Wentai walked out of the handsome tent, Peng Le and others looked at him blankly. I also took it for granted, and only thanked Sima Ziru.

I and that group of people are on the same path, as long as the sun in my heart keeps shining on me, Yu Wentai will care how Peng Le and others view themselves.

Looking to the east, I still vaguely remember the sad appearance of Gao Cheng when he told about the arrogance of the Kwantung soldiers.

I, Yuwen Taiyi, are Rongci to share the worries for the low clarity.

No matter what, we must use the policy plan of gradually retreating from the big low king and fighting steadily as the minimum guiding ideology for making suggestions.

That's right, although Gao Cheng was with the army, my most trusted aide, Yu Wentai, did not follow Di Huan into the pass.

That's what Gao Cheng expected when Yu Wentai was taken away by Gao Huan.

Before I was sure that I could join the army, after I met Lou Zhaojun, I had a few words with Yu Wentai, and those few words were not for me to persuade me to calm down when I was in a low mood.

At the same time, he clarified his concerns about the pervasive arrogance in the military.

At least in hindsight, Yu Wentai accomplished that task brilliantly and successfully persuaded Gao Huan to besiege Gao Huan.

Gao Huan has no doubts about Yu Wentai's trust, especially before the Luoyang Change, Yu Wentai's handling must be in the heart of Gao Huan, otherwise he will take me away weakly.

Now that there are so few civil servants and military generals under Gao Cheng's command, why did Di Huan ever try to snatch them again.

And Yu Wentai led Gao Huan's youth in Jinyang, which also made Gao Huan lose a more turbid understanding of my ability.

It also became more and more important, so I was ordered to go west with the army and make suggestions with Sima Ziru and others.

As for the reason why Sima Ziru spoke in support of Wu Qiongchun, it was because what Yu Wentai said was really unreasonable.

Qilai, as the core staff member, I am very worried about Gao Cheng's worries, and I also understand the intimacy between Yu Wentai and Gao Cheng.

After all, he was Da Di Wang's old partner when he was in Luoyang, and my son and I are good brothers under the surface, and we can help as much as we can. In the future, Di Cheng will also miss his own love.

Guanzhong, Chang'an.

Bad news came one after another. First of all, Di Huan and Hou Jing retreated together, and Gao Cheng sent troops to Hengnong to threaten Tongguan.

That person Gao Cheng is purely nasty, he just puts pressure on the soldiers and Hengnong every step of the way, and finds a chance to solve me.

Xialuo was besieged by Hou Jing and might fall at any time.

And the most important thing is not the 70 small army on the northern line.

Why am I driving straight in, besieging Gao Huan.

Chen Qingzhi pondered for a long time in Baxia Xiaoying, but he still hadn't made up his mind, but at this moment, he had to call all the generals to discuss the matter in order to unify their thinking.

　No pigeons.It's just that I'm really caught in the vicious circle of updating yesterday and making up in the morning. I'll try my best to adjust it today and tomorrow.
